Lan Yu Feng’s expression didn’t change much, he just continued, “Still cursing hooligans?”
Curses! Of course I curse!
Originally, he was no different from a hooligan when he acted like this now!
Zige muttered in her heart, but she didn’t dare say anything with her mouth.
Who knows what he would do if he angered this man? There’s no guarantee that he’ll jump up and bite himself just like last time.
With that thought, Zige pursed her lips and hurriedly shook her head, “No more cursing! You quickly get out of the way!”
Lan Yu Feng didn’t let go of her immediately, he just stared at her with his eyes downcast for a couple of moments before slowly letting go of her.
With her freedom, Zige immediately shrank back into the corner in a wary manner, scrambling to organize the gown on her body. Only at this moment did she gasp and smooth her breathing.
Even looked sideways at the man beside her, afraid that he would pounce on her and do something again. But he looked calm and unruffled, and after disciplining her, he sat up straight and didn’t say another word.
Redirecting her eyes back, Zi Ge touched Yan Nan’s sight that was holding back a smile, her small face flushed, secretly cursing Lan Yu Feng a few times, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Just now … her wretched and cowardly appearance was obviously all taken in by Yan Nan. It was all because of this big bad egg, Lan Yu Feng!
The party, set in a private villa garden.
After Yan Nan stopped the car, he hurriedly went around to the back to push the wheelchair. Lan Yu Feng sat in the car and didn’t move, only saying, “You know my habits.”
“But …,” Yan Nan was a bit embarrassed, his eyes balking worriedly over Lan Yu Feng’s leg, reminding, “Sir, your leg is in a bad way tonight.”
“Get the cane.” Not listening to the advice, he just ordered doggedly.
As soon as Zi Ge heard his words, her healer’s instincts jumped out again. Stopping Yan Nan from reaching for his cane, he spoke, “Your use of the cane now will only intensify your pain.”
Lan Yu Feng glanced at her and ignored her, pushing open the car door to get out.
His right leg, still still aching, was grueling with every movement he made, and a fine, dense sweat surfaced on his forehead.
Zige’s heart twisted and she instinctively reached out to hold his arm, “Don’t you die.”
“Have you ever seen anyone in a wheelchair attending a banquet?” Lan Yu Feng took the cane from Yan Nan’s hand and propped it up on the ground. One hand went around behind Zige and wrapped around her slender waist. His tall figure enveloped the petite one densely, he hung his head and whispered beside her ear, “Accompany me inside.”
What pain had he not endured over the years? Whether it was in his heart or in his body, anything that hurt a thousand times more than this, he could survive.
So what’s the point?
The sudden heat on her waist, accompanied by his moist breath in her ears, all caused Zige’s heart to tremble slightly.
Feeling his stubborn obstinacy, she actually inexplicably felt some heartache. Holding him more carefully, she whispered softly, “If you can’t stand it, just tell me and we’ll come out early, don’t hold on.”
“Uh-huh.”
For once, he was surprisingly well-behaved.
“If you’re tired, just lean on me and I can share a little of your strength.”
Ziggy said as she patted herself on the shoulder.
Lan Yu Feng froze slightly for a moment, lowered his eyes to look at her, a faint dark aura crossing the bottom of his eyes. In the end, nothing was said, just wrapped his arms around her and walked into the banquet hall.
Lan Yu Feng’s appearance caused a group of women in the banquet to cry out in astonishment. However, when they saw the cane in his hand, they still inevitably revealed a look of regret.
Zige walked beside him, still able to feel his body becoming more and more rigid in that either regretful, or sympathetic look.
A look like that made him feel hurt?
It turned out that under his icy exterior, he hid only a fragile and sensitive heart …
Zige sighed slightly and more carefully held him steady. In her heart, she couldn’t help but feel a few points of intolerance and pity.
Sure enough, when Xi Zhen Jun saw her, his eyes were full of surprise.
“Yunruo, aren’t you abroad with your father?”
Yun Ruo?
Zi Ge didn’t know how to answer for a moment, and looked up in surprise at Lan Yu Feng, who was on the side.
Lan Yu Feng hugged her tighter, as if declaring his sovereignty, “Uncle Jun, Yun Ruo is my wife, so naturally she can’t stay abroad all the time.”
At this moment, hearing Lan Yu Feng’s words Zi Ge realized that, originally, he pulled himself here not for anything else, but just to let her disguise her ex-wife.
“Wife? You’re married?” Xi Zhen Jun was even more surprised, his eyes falling on Zige, “How come I’ve never heard your father mention it?”
“We never organized a wedding, so father then didn’t mention it.” Lan Yu Feng spoke in Zige’s place.
“Like this?” Xi Zhenjun seemed to be half-convinced, glancing at Lan Yufeng before asking Zige, “Yunruo, how’s your father’s health? Didn’t return to the country with you?”
Ziggy was baffled by the question.
How should she answer? It wasn’t like she was the real Zhuo Yunruo. Or even, knew nothing about Zhuo Yunruo at all.
“Yunruo, why don’t you answer?” Lan Yu Feng looks at her with his head hanging down, there are faint traces of laughter under his eyes, and his tone is actually indescribably gentle, “Tell Uncle Jun that Dad is doing well in Sweden right now.”
This is the first time that Zi Ge has seen Lan Yu Feng’s smile, for a moment, stunned at that, the sight can only stare at his gentle smile in a daze.
The original …
He treated his ex-wife like this …
The man, she thought, had that cold, unfazed look for any woman.
Turns out, not quite.
The heart twisted inexplicably because of this realization.
“Yunruo?” It wasn’t until Lan Yu Feng patiently repeated a sound of that unfamiliar name that she snapped back to her senses. Smiling faintly at Xizhen Jun, she spoke stiffly, “Uncle Jun, don’t worry, Dad’s health is fine. There has been an explanation for Yu Feng and I to come over to visit you.”
“Is that so? Hearing you say that, Uncle Jun is relieved.” Xi Zhen Jun took two glasses of whiskey from waiter’s hand, one glass was handed to Zi Ge, one glass was handed to Lan Yu Feng, “Yun Ruo, you are the one that uncle watched grow up, and loved you as much as he loved his daughter, and this is what it is like to get married uncle doesn’t know it yet, and his heart doesn’t feel good about it.”
“Then these two cups of wine, let’s say Yunruo and I give Uncle Jun a chaperone.” Lan Yu Feng took the initiative to raise his glass.
“Cheng, our Yunruo is not drunk with a thousand cups, it’s not easy to come back tonight, we must also accompany uncle to have a good drink.” Xi Zhen Jun also carried a cup of wine in his hand, and after clinking glasses with Lan Yu Feng, he clinked glasses with Zi Ge.
Ziggy looked at the glass of wine with a difficult face.
Raising his eyes to look at Lan Yu Feng, he grabbed his sleeve and spoke quietly beside his ear, “I’m allergic to alcohol ….”
Thinking that Lan Yu Feng would help himself to block this cup, however, Zi Ge never expected him to open his mouth after just a little contemplation, “You are now Zhuo Yunruo. Zhuo Yunruo’s ability to drink has always been very good.”
So what he’s saying is …
She must drink this wine?
Zige wanted to say something else, but Lan Yu Feng had already lifted his head and stopped listening to her, only taking the lead in draining the wine he was holding.
Looking at that cold side face, Zige’s heart suddenly chilled a little.
Yes, it’s about a 400 million dollar project, how could he care about her little allergy?
Besides, she was just Meng Zige, not his ex-wife Zhuo Yunruo, so how could he care?
Actually, she could have shrugged it off. Stomach ache, gastrointestinal discomfort, whatever. However, not knowing if it was a gamble or what, after Zi Ge and Xi Zhen Jun clinked glasses, she tilted her head back and really drank the glass of whiskey to the dregs.
She also didn’t glance sideways at Lan Yu Feng, so naturally, she wouldn’t know that his eyes were roaming around her body in a different way.
Putting down the wine glass, Xi Zhen Jun said a few more words, then someone came over to toast Lan Yu Feng, and Zi Ge turned around when she saw the opportunity. Her ability to drink was not good to begin with, and this cup of wine was so hard to swallow that it almost made her squirt tears.
Walking out a few steps, his wrist was suddenly tugged by Lan Yu Feng. That palm, cold and warm.
“Not allowed to go.” The demeanor was still light, yet the words spoken were irrefutable.
“You let go!” Zige struggled up to shake him off.
He was supporting his cane, and it was a bit of a struggle just to hold himself up, and now that he was being struggled with by Ziggy like this, it was even more of a struggle.
But he just stubbornly refused to let go, his eyes looking at her, “Are you sure you can afford the dire consequences of you leaving?”
Ziggy froze.
Four hundred million dollars, not a small amount. If he couldn’t get it, he was bound to take it all out on her. At that time, what would he think of to toss her around?
“What the hell do you want?”
“Play your role well.” Lan Yu Feng replied. In his eyes, there wasn’t the slightest fluctuation, and the words he uttered were even more ruthless, “From the moment you came in, you are Zhuo Yunruo. She drinks well, so you must drink; she’s elegant, so you must be subdued.”
“Lan Yu Feng, you’re really going overboard!” The tip of her nose was sore, and Zige only felt a steady stream of aggression coming up. She accused him with red eyes, “The project is your business, what does it have to do with me? I’m Meng Zige, not some Zhuo Yunruo, I’m neither elegant nor submissive, and I don’t want to be anyone’s double! Since you need Zhuo Yunruo, you could have gone abroad to get her back! Who do you think you are to manipulate my life?!”
The bottom of her eyes were all agitated, but her heart was more chilled.
It really sucks to be given a stand-in!
And …
Just because she has such a face, why does he have the right to dictate everything to her without any consideration for her feelings? Even if she can’t drink, he can still completely ignore it!
The more she thought about it, the harder it became, and Zi Ge shook off Lan Yu Feng’s hand and was about to leave. This time, however, he didn’t stop her again, only dropping a sentence behind her, “Just by virtue of my strength to grasp the life and death of your entire family.”
The tone was light and shallow, but that aura caused Zi Ge’s footsteps to suddenly pause, and the hand hanging at her side subconsciously tightened.
“Meng Zige, when you have the strength, you can stop being held hostage by me.” Compared to Zige’s agitation, he remained calm and collected. Looking at her stiff back, he ordered as if nothing had happened, “Come over and help me.”
Unwilling, unwilling, but unable to take another step on his feet.
Turning back in a daze, Zi Ge looked at Lan Yu Feng, whose complexion was still as calm as water, and suddenly felt that the irony of her anger just now had reached the extreme.
How did she expect this man to care about her feelings?
From the beginning, she was nothing more than a stand-in for him.
That’s all. …
What director, ever cared about the emotions of a stand-in actor? All they cared about was always whether the scene was good or not.
Throughout the banquet, Zi Ge wore Zhuo Yunruo’s hat of ‘not getting drunk from a thousand cups’ and was poured drink after drink.
Red and white, plus foreign wine.
After a round of drinking, she had actually drunk it as water a long time ago. Drinking it into her stomach only burned her chest, but she couldn’t taste anything else.
The first few cups, will also subconsciously throw the line of sight to the blue Yu Feng, the heart more or less holding a little bit of expectation, thought he would come to save himself a hand, but …
Instead, he looked like he was oblivious and let her drown in the crowd.
Heart, sinking and sinking, she no longer held that unrealistic expectation.
